Why does the right give her so much free rental time in their heads, again?

She's a newbie representative with next to zero pull. Even her own party has lambasted her a bit in the guise of Pelosi's comments.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

She does have a bit of a following, judging from my YouTube feed.

Suit yourself.

I am annoyed she gets so much attention, so I would find it very annoying to be part of the problem :P

How do you explain the fact that a number of presidential hopefuls included her Green New Deal into their platforms?  If that is zero pull, I look forward to what she will accomplish when she gets a little pull.

She does. She is a creature of social media. Sort of like the President.

I go full grumpy old man on that stuff. Back in my day we didn't have these twitters and facebooks and we liked it!

Her shit plays well with the masses. The same reason previously respectable conservatives suddenly had to incorporate all this populist nonsense in theirs.

It is involuntary in my case. I don't come here to get news.

Mate, she is young, female, and Hispanic. That's like 3 doomsday alarmbells for concerned patriots.

I think we normally call them garbage disposals (at least, that is the term I've always used).  It's the food grinder thingie many people have built into their sink.

More fundamentally I don't get why people are obsessed with political figure's personal foibles.  It doesn't tell you how good or bad they will be at their position.  I didn't get the hubbub about how Trump eats his steaks or Michelle Obama's arms.  It's all useless distraction masquerading as political commentary.

Trump not knowing how an umbrella works might indicate that he is less than completely able to competently handle America's nuclear one.

It's like those Appalachians have a different word for everything.
